Mentalità batterica e infiammazione: come il tuo microbioma influenza la salute - e cosa fare al riguardo

Discover how gut bacteria influence inflammation and health, and what it can do about it. Gut bacteria and inflammation are tightly connected: the microbes in the gut produce metabolites that shape immune responses and help protect or irritate the gut lining. When the balance shifts toward pro-inflammatory signals, low-grade inflammation can persist and affect digestion, energy, skin, mood, and metabolic health. By understanding this link, practical steps can be taken to support the microbiome through diet and lifestyle that may reduce inflammation over time. InnerBuddies offers a white-label Gut Health Operating System designed to power gut microbiome testing products for brands and researchers. The platform features a Gut Microbiome Health Index, a score from 0 to 100 that signals overall gut health based on an exclusive IP with EAFIT University in Colombia. It also includes Bacteria Abundances for a top 40 panel—showing how it compares against a healthy cohort for both positive and negative bacteria—and Bacteria Functions, categorized and labeled as positive or negative, with pathway-level comparisons to healthy norms. In addition, Target Group Analysis explores how the microbiome supports or challenges inflammation for specific groups, such as Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, Power Sport, and Skin & Hair Health. It can be explored with a practical example from InnerBuddies: InnerBuddies microbiome test, and ongoing insights can be gained through the InnerBuddies Gut Health Membership. Getting practical involves translating data into action. InnerBuddies combines 3-day food diaries with stool samples to deliver personalized nutrition advice, showing how individual foods influence the gut microbiome and inflammation-related pathways. The platform also offers personalized probiotics and prebiotics recommendations tailored to the microbiome profile, aiming to shift microbial functions toward anti-inflammatory effects. To support real-world changes, focus on diet and lifestyle habits that nurture diverse, fiber-rich plant foods, include fermented foods, and limit ultra-processed items and added sugars. Regular physical activity, adequate sleep, and stress management further support a healthy gut–immune axis, helping gut bacteria and inflammation move toward a more balanced state. InnerBuddies serves both consumers and businesses with scalable gut test solutions. All B2B options are available directly to consumers as well, so testing, interpretation, and guidance are accessible through the same science-backed platform.
